Building on the momentum of 2021, we gathered in person in Malmö, Sweden, for the Malmö Summit, on 11-13 May 2022 to exchange with and inspire one another on the best practices in local sustainable development and learn firsthand from the City of Malmö’s wealth of sustainability initiatives. Malmö is a leading example of creative and innovative sustainable development.
The Malmö Summit was full of memorable moments, unforgettable encounters and important announcements.
The ICLEI World Congress 2021 – 2022: The Malmö Summit had three days of core programming for participants, featuring strategic high-level dialogues building on themes explored in 2021, as well as exciting technical visits, in-depth workshops and multiple networking opportunities especially suited for in-person participation.
Wondering what World Congress 2021-2022 had in store for you as an attendee? The mobile workshop series was one of the highlights, organized by the City of Malmö itself.
13 workshops, spanning sustainability topics from urban food systems to neighborhood regeneration and energy transformations await. The workshops included getting out and about in Malmö and seeing firsthand how sustainability measures are being implemented.
This Research Symposium, the 6th in ICLEI’s 32-year history brought together leading urban sustainability researchers, innovators, and city leaders from across the globe. Due to the significance of research-informed discussion and policymaking, reiterated on recent global stages such as the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), it was our most ambitious ICLEI research symposium to date.
